Tomáš Kaválek from the Center for Middle East Relations (PCMR) of the CEVRO Institute published an article “The Fate of the Shayta’at in the Syrian War” for Natbase.cz. The text shows the moving story of the Arab Shaytaat tribe, which faced a massacre by the Islamic State in 2014 in the province of Dayr az-Zaur. The tribe’s story illustrates the complicated situation and the breakdown of the cohesion of traditional social structures as a result of the decade-long war.
